A New One-Year MBA Course of Study
When students begin to weigh their MBA options, they must consider the opportunity costs associated with full-time study. Rensselaer understands that this may be the most significant cost of an MBA. With this in mind, the Lally School of Management & Technology has designed a one-year MBA course schedule to make the best use of a student’s time and money. Students will be completely immersed in their studies for a full year. There will be no break for summer and no extensive break over the holidays. Simply put, The Lally School one-year MBA program will be a full time job for people who are used to working hard and learning quickly. Most certainly it will be challenging, but in one year’s time the student would have earned an MBA from one of the nation’s top-50 ranked universities.
Opportunity Doesn’t Wait.
The flexible, 51-credit program replaces the two year MBA degree program. Only about 90 accredited schools worldwide offer accelerated full-time MBA formats. Patterned after global MBA programs that are the norm outside the U.S., the new Lally 51-credit hour program replaces the school’s previous 2-year MBA degree program.
The new program reflects the growing trend toward accelerated and specialized master’s programs in management education. The demand for intensive, shorter MBA programs, already growing, has only increased during the current economic downturn. According to a recent Wall Street Journal survey of accelerated MBA programs, the primary factor for students in choosing these programs is the ability to enter the work force faster. The Journal reports that only about 90 accredited schools worldwide offer accelerated MBA formats, with many of them only recently adding the option. The majority of current programs are outside the U.S., and international focus is a large draw for many students.
Lally’s introduction of the new program culminates a year of introducing new, focused Master’s programs. Building on its new, interdisciplinary MS programs in Technology Commercialization and Entrepreneurship (TC&E) and Financial Engineering and Risk Analytics (FERA) launched within the last year, Lally’s new intensive MBA program not only offers students an accelerated way to boost their careers, but also reflects the globalization of technology management and the global demand for MBA degrees.
The new program enables students to complete an MBA degree in as little as one year by streamlining elective requirements and offering coursework through the summer and semester intercession periods. All MBA students take 10 required CORE Courses, a choice of 2 “Flex Core” courses, and 5 electives for a total of 51 credits. The new “Flex-Core” option allows students to explore a number of topics in-depth, and electives permit students to focus their training in one of five concentrations: Technological Entrepreneurship, Finance, Information Systems-Operations Management, Marketing-New Product Development, and Global Enterprise Management. Another new feature to the program is the Community Service Practicum course, where MBA students work in teams with faculty advisors to help local, small organizations and promote regional economic development.
The accelerated program will continue to teach Lally’s signature integrated MBA curriculum, which emphasizes the connections between functional business areas, preparing students for real world situations where they will work on teams across business functions such as finance, operations, research & development and marketing.
MBA students can choose from four different program options, ranging from 12 to 24 months, and a wide variety of curricular options to build a customized degree program. For those looking for accelerated training, with a minimum disruption of their career path and maximum value, the 12 month option is the most intensive and shortest degree program. For students who want to gain more work experience or to change careers, internship and specialization modules can be added to create an MBA tailored for each student’s needs and career goals. Customized programs can be completed within 17 to 24 months.
In today’s dynamic global markets, successful professionals need to be nimble, creative problem solvers. This intensive, accelerated one-year MBA program will stretch your imagination and creativity, while preparing you to lead in tomorrow’s business world.
